Oooops... :redface:

But even so I'd be interested your reactions

It was interesting. I didn't see a description of the actual process eLife uses for submissions and review, but I am in favor of keeping things open-source in general. Transparent is always better.

of course the problem of 'peer-review' or validation of a hypothesis or reproducing the same results before publication is that if it isn't published then peers can't run with it - cf. chicken and egg scenario.
